Acting Out Social Skills: Beyond the Basics - Student Book Set

This curriculum consists of two Student Books with corresponding Teacher’s Guides. The Student Books are organized theatrically with acts and scenes. The seven acts reflect universal character virtues: Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, Citizenship, Trustworthiness, Caring, and Civic Responsibility. Each act has three scenes plus a wrap-up. The scenes present social dilemmas from different character perspectives and engage the student through role play, analysis, and discussion. Throughout these activities the effect of behavior on emotions is stressed. The themes in Workplace Social Skills are job related, while the themes in Beyond the Basics are more varied and present more nuanced social situations.

The Teacher’s Guides duplicate the Student Book with complete worksheets and assignments. The guides also include a Win/Mac CD with a Classroom License for printouts. By June Stride, EdD.

All books are covered spiral bound, 150–160 pages. Acting Out: Workplace Social Skills, black and white, 2010; Acting Out: Beyond the Basics, full color, 2011.
